A team from Assam’s Higher Education Department, led by Prof. Parameswar K. Iyer of @IITGuwahati and the Secretary of HED, visited Norway and Germany to explore academic collaboration and co-develop curricula for 𝐒𝐰𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐝 𝐊𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐮𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲. During the visit, they signed MoUs with the Lucas-Nuelle Group and the Lars und Christian Engel Stiftung (LUCE) Foundation in Germany. The insights gained will significantly support and strengthen our emerging initiatives. Today, the team has briefed me on the outcomes, and we will soon organise an Academia–Industry Conclave to foster stronger industry–academia partnerships for enhanced training and innovation. @himantabiswa @CMOfficeAssam

It was a pleasure to meet Frau Anja Carron, Inlamobi President Europe, and Shri Vijaya Koumar, CEO of Inlamobi Pvt. Ltd., along with their delegation yesterday. This meeting was a follow-up to the MoU signed with Inlamobi during Advantage Assam 2.0, and centered on the roadmap for establishing the European Blue Valley Clusters in Assam, with a particular focus on key sectors including Tea, Flavours & Fragrances, and Traditional Medicine (Ayush). The Inlamobi leadership presented a strategic vision for a pioneering, large-scale transcontinental Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Cluster, linking Assam to the European Blue Valley network. The initiative aims to position Assam as a global hub for innovation in natural wellness and bio-based industries, leveraging European and Asian collaboration in biotechnology, sustainability, and trade. I advised Frau Carron and Shri Koumar to initiate coordination with CSIR, NIPER and Guwahati Biotech Park to explore collaborative opportunities focused on scaling Aroma Clusters and promoting research-driven industrial development. I also recommended involving Farmer Producer Groups (FPGs) and raw material suppliers to ensure sustainable sourcing and to foster community-based participation across the value chain. This initiative aligns with Assam’s vision of inclusive, innovation-led development, with strong potential to generate green jobs, particularly for women and youth, and to enhance the state’s role in the global flavours, fragrances, and traditional medicine sectors. @CMOfficeAssam @EUAmbIndia @anja_carron @vijayaiway
